About the building: The design and construction of the main staircase at BCIT was a joint effort between Architectura and George Third & Son, who fabricated the highly complex steel for this unique stair. The structure of the stair is made from mainly HSS sections and is hung from the truss at the upper floor -- so that it appears to float above the lobby at the main level.
